Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL Balanced Phono Stage

The MX-VYNL by Musical Fidelity is a fully-balanced, very high-performance phono stage, able to operate with virtually any moving coil or moving magnet cartridge.

With both traditional RCA inputs and Musical Fidelity’s unique XLR fully-balanced connection, MX-VYNL can be connected to two turntables simultaneously.

MX-VNYL offers a wide range of input impedance settings for moving coil (MC) cartridges as well as several capacitance settings for moving magnet (MM) units. Unlike many competitors units, MX-VYNL allows easy adjustment of these settings while playing, which allows for easy experimentation and tuning to find the optimum setting for all your equipment. It also includes Musical Fidelity’s renowned RIAA correction that offers extremely accurate results to 80 kHz and beyond.

With both extraordinarily low noise and exceptional overload margin, MX-VYNL can comfortably handle even the most demanding of cartridges and satisfy the most discerning of listeners.
